lyrics

I can’t cry; these tears won’t come
So I scream and hope to become
a person held close by arms that don’t wander
clinging me to home

Yet this home seems halfway built; like a halfway house for the halfway hounds
It is my frightful blessing; my beautiful chore

This is our land, this is our story
We are the trophy kids,
groping for truth, groping for a place to call home

for a story that makes sense of our place in this world
This is my home; my frightful blessing; my beautiful chore

We live in a halfway house; halfway built
The ever-changing sense of ebb and flow


We are the tired ones with longing souls for a restful home and we all sing…
With the west glow setting softly; with the west glow setting softly
We are the ugly ones with worn out tongues that led the sums and we all sing…
With the west glow setting softly; with the west glow setting softly
We are the damaged ones with taut lips that learnt recoiling love and we all sing…
With the west glow setting softly; with the west glow setting softly
We are the profaned ones at war with ourselves, in disconnect and we all sing…
With the west glow setting softly; with the west glow setting softly
